Our 360º Sensor must be installed on one of the fixed branches of the crane or on one of the branches of the compensator pulley.
The sensor will send the signal to the control electronics, which will display the inclination value in degrees (º) and activate three limit relays either instantly or with a delay, both for activation and deactivation, just configure them as needed for each application.
• Premature damage or rupture of the steel cable, due to irregular accommodation on the track;
• Premature damage or rupture of the steel cable, due to friction between cables on the track of the crane’s structure.
• Serious accidents, especially those caused by the swinging of the load, which can strike the operator or pedestrians in the surrounding area. The swinging is caused by the misalignment of the trolley with the hook, which has the load resting on the ground.
• Reduces maintenance costs, as it prevents premature replacement of steel cables;
• Reduces losses due to crane downtime, as it prevents premature maintenance;
• Prevents accidents caused by lifting misaligned loads.
The 3 main features are:
1. Easy and quick calibration/programming, through push buttons on the control electronics. In the market, most inclination sensors are complex and difficult to calibrate (requiring a specific program and the use of a PC or Laptop).
2. Detects 360º inclination, meaning a single output that detects inclination in any direction. Market models, on the other hand, have 2 independent detection axes, meaning one analog output for the X-axis and another analog output for the Y-axis, complicating inclination management and making it difficult to link limit outputs to the crane’s commands.
3. Control electronics with a powerful microprocessor, featuring a 5-digit red LED display, 3 programming buttons, and 5 high-luminosity LEDs that act as state indicators (activation of configured outputs). Most market inclination sensors do not have a separate control electronics apart from the sensor and with such features.
It is very simple, just provide a single piece of information: The diameter of the steel cable of the fixed leg or the compensating pulley.
